the genealogy of my father.

      1 Nephi 3:13

       13 And behold, it came to pass that Laban was angry, and thrust

       him out from his presence; and he would not that he should have

       the records. Wherefore, he said unto him: Behold thou art a

       robber, and I will slay thee.

      1 Nephi 3:14

       14 But Laman fled out of his presence, and told the things which

       Laban had done, unto us. And we began to be exceedingly

       sorrowful, and my brethren were about to return unto my father in

       the wilderness.

      1 Nephi 3:15

       15 But behold I said unto them that: As the Lord liveth, and as

       we live, we will not go down unto our father in the wilderness

       until we have accomplished the thing which the Lord hath

       commanded us.

      1 Nephi 3:16

       16 Wherefore, let us be faithful in keeping the commandments of

       the Lord; therefore let us go down to the land of our father's

       inheritance, for behold he left gold and silver, and all manner

       of riches. And all this he hath done because of the commandments

       of the Lord.

      1 Nephi 3:17

       17 For he knew that Jerusalem must be destroyed, because of the

       wickedness of the people.

      1 Nephi 3:18

       18 For behold, they have rejected the words of the prophets.

       Wherefore, if my father should dwell in the land after he hath

       been commanded to flee out of the land, behold, he would also

       perish. Wherefore, it must needs be that he flee out of the

       land.

      1 Nephi 3:19

       19 And behold, it is wisdom in God that we should obtain these

       records, that we may preserve unto our children the language of

       our fathers;

      1 Nephi 3:20

       20 And also that we may preserve unto them the words which have

       been spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets, which have

       been delivered unto them by the Spirit and power of God, since

       the world began, even down unto this present time.

      1 Nephi 3:21

       21 And it came to pass that after this manner of language did I

       persuade my brethren, that they might be faithful in keeping the

       commandments of God.

      1 Nephi 3:22

       22 And it came to pass that we went down to the land of our

       inheritance, and we did gather together our gold, and our silver,

       and our precious things.

      1 Nephi 3:23

       23 And after we had gathered these things together, we went up

       again unto the house of Laban.

      1 Nephi 3:24

       24 And it came to pass that we went in unto Laban, and desired

       him that he would give unto us the records which were engraven

       upon the plates of brass, for which we would give unto him our

       gold, and our silver, and all our precious things.

      1 Nephi 3:25

       25 And it came to pass that when Laban saw our property, and

       that it was exceedingly great, he did lust after it, insomuch

       that he thrust us out, and sent his servants to slay us, that he

       might obtain our property.

      1 Nephi 3:26

       26 And it came to pass that we did flee before the servants of

       Laban, and we were obliged to leave behind our property, and it

       fell into the hands of Laban.

      1 Nephi 3:27

       27 And it came to pass that we fled into the wilderness, and the

       servants of Laban did not overtake us, and we hid ourselves in

       the cavity of a rock.

      1 Nephi 3:28

       28 And it came to pass that Laman was angry with me, and also

       with my father; and also was Lemuel, for he hearkened unto the

       words of Laman. Wherefore Laman and Lemuel did speak many hard

       words unto us, their younger brothers, and they did smite us even

       with a rod.

      1 Nephi 3:29

       29 And it came to pass as they smote us with a rod, behold, an

       angel of the Lord came and stood before them, and he spake unto

       them, saying: Why do ye smite your younger brother with a rod?

       Know ye not that the Lord hath chosen him to be a ruler over you,

       and this because of your iniquities? Behold ye shall go up to

       Jerusalem again, and the Lord will deliver Laban into your hands.

      1 Nephi 3:30

       30 And after the angel had spoken unto us, he departed.

      1 Nephi 3:31

       31 And after the angel had departed, Laman and Lemuel again

       began to murmur, saying: How is it possible that the Lord will

       deliver Laban into our hands? Behold, he is a mighty man, and he

       can command fifty, yea, even he can slay fifty; then why not us?

      1 Nephi 4 Chapter 4

      1 Nephi 4:1

       1 And it came to pass that I spake unto my brethren, saying: Let

       us go up again unto Jerusalem, and let us be faithful in keeping

       the commandments of the Lord; for behold he is mightier than all

       the earth, then why not mightier than Laban and his fifty, yea,

       or even than his tens of thousands?

      1 Nephi 4:2

       2 Therefore let us go up; let us be strong like unto Moses; for

       he truly spake unto the waters of the Red Sea and they divided

       hither and thither, and our fathers came through, out of

       captivity, on dry ground, and the armies of Pharaoh did follow

       and were drowned in the waters of the Red Sea.

      1 Nephi 4:3

       3 Now behold ye know that this is true; and ye also know that an

       angel hath spoken unto you; wherefore can ye doubt? Let us go

       up; the Lord is able to deliver us, even as our fathers, and to

       destroy Laban, even as the Egyptians.

      1 Nephi 4:4

       4 Now when I had spoken these words, they were yet wroth, and

       did still continue to murmur; nevertheless they did follow me up

       until we came without the walls of Jerusalem.

      1 Nephi 4:5

       5 And it was
